One thought on “Doctor Who: The Glorious Dead”

This is the second book of Eighth Doctor Comic Strips collecting stories from #272-296 of Doctor Who Magazine and back up tales from Doctor Who Weekly #5-7, #23 and #24. This is the last Black and White collection for Doctor WhoThe Fallen (#273-276): A sequel to the TV movie that finds Grace Holloway (the Doctor's one shot companion from that movie) involved in some dodgy genetic experiments that lead to monstrous consequences. It's good follow up to a story that really had problems and explores [...]

The Fallen (273-276). The plot of this is just a battle against a proto-blob thingy. But it's got terrific connections to Doctor Who: The Movie, making it a critically important 8th Doctor story. We get to see what happened to Grace later on (in the comic-universe at least) and that proto-blob even devolves from the movie plot. As for the longer term plot well that's a topic for another story. [7/10].Throwback (Kroton: 5-7). A neat introduction to the cyberman Kroton. This close attention to th [...]

Sorry but there be spoilers here!Dr. Who the glorious dead is the second of four trade paperbacks collecting the 8th doctors adventuresVolume one endgame was horrible. It should've been great it had the Celestial toymaker it had the Daleks it had Max Edison, but most important it was Marvel UK's chance to define the 8th doctor. But it fell way too short, the glorious dead makes up for that, this is an eighth doctor who knows who he is and what he's all about.He has fun young geek as his companio [...]

None of the stories in this book blew my mind, but I enjoyed every single one of them. Grace is back, with a proper sequel to the TV movie; the Master has found a new body (that of a black human, which was probably revolutionary at the time); a lot of great side characters and new plotlines are introduced. There are sillier stories as well, all of which worked a lot better than I expected them to. And Kroton the Cyberman becomes a proper companion years after his introduction in the DWM comics ( [...]

The Doctor gets joined by a cyberman with a soul, and has epic adventures with new and old enemies. This is the Glorious Dead storyline, even the ones before that feed into it. There is some amazing artwork and real page turning plots. It also has a multi doctor anniversary story and a flashback to the early days of the cyberman companion. A really good read.
